A few friends came by my office today, after seeing what I did and agreing that it was rather cool. But still highly technical. I pointed out, that the theoretical physics for sayting that it's possible to use the wave nature of light to print sub micron particles. Sure it's theoretically possible, and people seriously wondered if you could print sub-wavelengh features.

Enter Phase Shift Masks, Optical proximity Correction,

But what I find separates the scientists from the engineers, is that the engineers will figure out exactly how to do it and to make money at it, or rather to show that if there's enough of a real motivation behind it to do it. Things will get done. Whoever would have imagined the GMR read heads would make hard drives so massively cheap, to put the manufacturers out of business.

Technology is my life.

I I don't doubt it for a moment
